Frozen chicken eggs
Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 3:47 pm
Hi,
I have a question, silly as it may seem and any help would be apprciated. Myhens have started laying eggs. It is 18 degrees today and will be very cold for the next week or so. I know they lay around 10 or so in the morning but I am not able to fetch the eggs until 5 or 6 at night. They are frozen, I am sure by then. They have a coop but I know it is cold enough to frezze the eggs fairly quickly as they are not really nesting on them for any time yet as they are new layers. Can I put the frozen eggs in the fridge like always and still eat them, or is this not wise? I hate to toss them out. I have 14 fairly young hens and am getting 6 eggs a day now. A month ago was four a day so more of course are starting to lay. I still have another month or so of cold weather to deal with. Thanks-John
